I sit at the river's edge, letting tiny pebbles slip through my fingers one by one. They soar briefly through the air before vanishing into the calm waters below. My ankles are dipped in the cool, refreshing stream. I let myself lose in the rhythmic melody of the pebbles tapping against the surface.
My mind feels like a tangled mess, with thoughts fighting for attention but none of them bringing any relief. Even the calm of nature isn't helping me relax the way I need. I'm stuck in a sea of uncertainty and defeat. The fact that my time machine is still out of reach just adds to the growing sense of dread.
I shouldn't have underestimated Vikramaditya like this. I convinced myself that playing along with his act of innocence was my way to gain an advantage—after all, if he was playing his cards for his benefit, why couldn't I do the same? I thought I could stay here, gather information, and use it to my advantage.
But I never anticipated that he'd take a genuine interest in me. I believed it was all just a game. Because of this, I buried the emerging feelings I had for him deep inside, but now it's like they've clawed their way out and are ruining my plans. The game has taken a turn I never expected.
And the worst outcome has happened—the vanishing of my time machine. I've searched everywhere, done everything I could, but it's nowhere to be found. God knows where he's hidden it, but I need it, no matter what.
